ABOUT YOUR Tilt 'N Plug Jr.2
TILT ‘N PLUG JR.
Designer Interconnect Solutions
All Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.’s belong to a family of compact
interconnection solutions designed for installation
into a table as part of a presentation system. They
are designed for mounting into a table, podium, or
other furniture to provide a way of connecting
audiovisual equipment on top of the furniture to a
presentation system below the furniture.
All use the same core element; a multimedia input
plate that can be "tilted" open when needed and
pushed closed when not needed.
The TNP122 and TNP142 each incorporate two
Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.modulesandareoperated
independently. The TNP142 is the same as a
TNP122, but with the modules factory-installed
facing in opposite directions. The TNP131 is the
same as a TNP121, but with a round bezel instead
of a square bezel.
All signals pass through the input plate directly to
cables on the underside of the table with no
intervening circuitry. The use of additional
ALTINEX Signal Management Solutions®such as
computer video interfaces, distribution amplifiers,
and switchers may be desirable.
The input plate of the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr. is accessible
by pushing down on the top cover. The unit then
auto-tiltsopen with help from an internal
pneumatic spring. Once open, the input plate
remains securely in place. The input plate is
hidden by pressing down on the top cover until the
latching mechanism engages. In its closed
position, the top panel lies flush with the tabletop,
held in place by the latching mechanism.
All Tilt ‘N Plug Jr. Signal Management Solutions
come with a standard top and bezel offering a high
quality matte black finish. Other finishes or special
bezel configurations are available upon request.
Please contact an ALTINEX representative to
discuss custom options.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES7
Step 1. Cut an opening into the table’s surface.
Refer to the ALTINEX website at
www.altinex.comfor table cutout
requirements.
Note: The table can be 2.25” or less in
thickness. Always confirm dimensions
before cutting to insure that specifications
have not changed.
Step 2. Insert the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr. into the table
cutout.
Step 3. Place the support brackets under the
table in between the support mount
grooves on the side of the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.
(See Diagram 5 for details.) Attach the
brackets to the groove at the desired
height and secure them to the bottom of
the table using the thumbscrews
provided.
Step 4. Secure the cables by using the provided
cable clamps and screws included with
the unit. Pass the power cord from the
bottom of the housing and attach it to the
table using the cable clamp and screw
supplied with the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE8
The Tilt ‘N Plug Jr. supplied was carefully tested
and no problems were detected. However, we
would like to offer the following suggestions:
•Please make sure that the highest quality
network cables are used.
•Make sure that no cable or power cord is
damaged or pinched. If there has been
damage, do not use the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr. Please
call the ALTINEX Customer Service Department
at (714) 990-2300 to have the unit repaired.
•If the unit does not rise into position correctly,
check the service loops for the signal and power
cords on the bottom of the unit.
Leave enough slack in the service loop to
allow for easy opening and closing, but
not too much as to cause excess
drooping of the service loop.
Step 5. Connect the appropriate cables with the
correct input connectors on the bottom of
the unit.
Step 6. Once you have applied power and
connected the proper cables on the
bottom of the unit you may raise the unit.
To raise the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr. into position,
push down on the front of the top cover;
the latching mechanism will then release,
allowing the pneumatic spring to raise it
into position.
